"This isn't a color thing, we are not against black foreigners but illegal immigrants"
Well, what makes white people (boers) descendants of people who colonized you legal?
It's a color thing, own it, say it loudly we have disdain for black people from other countries
🔸When I say we need new leaders, this is what I mean.
Whether we like it or not, the majority of the star players in European and American teams are of African heritage. Most of them, their parents or grandparents ended up leaving the Continent for greener pastures because of either a lack of opportunity, poor economic conditions, war or some other manifestation of bad governance.
The undeniable talent of these players demonstrates beyond doubt that, with the right ecosystem, our people can thrive and reach the top. They often do in optimal environments.
There’s no gain saying that every nation rises or falls on the quality of its leaders. Good leaders create strong economies where freedom, fairness and opportunity are available to all. The ecosystem makes fertile ground for success.
Bad leaders do the opposite. Like everything else, fixing the leadership crisis on the Continent will significantly improve our outcomes in football.
Competent leaders should be able to see that winning can never be a miracle. It takes work. There has to be a solid investment in the infrastructure around the game - strong junior academies, more investment in training expertise, more high performance centres, stronger local leagues, better stadia and sharper thinking around the business of the game.
Teams that lose after the 80th minute aren’t worse at the game. They are simply outperformed by teams whose mentality has been honed by a strong ecosystem almost from the start. Everything is optimized for grand success.
They don’t have to worry about the little things like whether or not they’ve been paid their bonuses. Their facilities and training camps are the best in the world. Their sponsors come to the party. The stadia are full to the brim with their supporters. You don’t just “get a winning mentality”. It’s the product of very deliberate investment, competent administration and a serious commitment over time by national leaders to take football seriously and in effect, “play the game” - to win.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼
🔸How did we go from being renowned as the breadbasket of Africa, the most educated population in the region and a highly productive, industrialized society to scrappy, economic migrants who are left to the arrogant mercy of other nations for basic survival? If Zimbabwe is not the blueprint for how bad leaders can destroy a jewel of a nation, I don’t know what is.

Is this why they fought the war? To make us a begging, sick-man, sorry embarassment in the community of nations?
They must reflect.
We need new leaders.🇿🇼

Finally, we have a line to use for future kids 😭😭😭
We had a really mean python at work and I gave him back to his owner and was like “he was trying to kill me” and his owner said “well, he only has so many ways to interact with the world. All he has is a face” and it Moved Me
